Hosea 2:18-20
New American Standard Bible
18 On that day I will also make a covenant for them
With the (A)animals of the field,
The birds of the sky,
And the crawling things of the ground.
And I will [a](B)eliminate the bow, the sword, and war from the land,
And will let them (C)lie down in safety.
19 I will (D)betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me in (E)righteousness and in justice,
In favor and in compassion,
20 And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness.
Then you will (F)know the Lord.
